In this photo, I played with the brightness and contrast of this photo to make this photo brighter and add to the mood of this portrait. I also edited the background in Photoshop, making the background yellow instead of it’s original red color. I did this to make the personality trait match to the background. The personality trait my subject is showing is happiness, because she seemed to be a happy person. She is conveying this personality trait because she was smiling, and looks like she is laughing at something off camera. My editing strengthens the photo because I made the photo more vibrant, and lively and added the yellow color which makes the personality trait obvious to the person viewing the image. What was challenging about working with the model is that I’m not used to taking photos of people, and had a difficult time trying to take photos of the model at different angles and with different facial expressions. Next time, I hope it will be easier to take photos of the model now that I have gotten used to taking photos of people.
